perhaps these inks are a mixture of dye and pigment I have noticed MIS do this as a compromise for colour vibrancy of dye and longivity of pigment but are not 100% pigment

Just went to inkjet master I'll be reprinting my cards yet again how far does this go? I,ll get them printed in advance :)

granddad just a thought on traditional photo paper vs ink jet photo paper has all three dyes embedded in it not to mention the silver in it that the dyes are attched to and coated with plastic on the back their is enough dye to completely cover the print in any colour or all 3 colours I,m...

I,m not sure if the i950 is the same as my s9000 but I believe it is the overspray sponge drains to a much larger pad that lays across the bottom of the printer as descibed on neil slades website and it is this pad that requires cleaning after an ink waste full message. although I've found...

I would tell inkgrabber about it perhaps the cart did have the wrong ink in it . It has happened to me by another supplier.

I don't think I would be removing the mesh unless you have some way of replacing it but if you removed the sponge the reservoir underneath could be cleaned with alchohol then reassembled filled with ink then primed which is very important.cleaning the sponge with alcohol at this stage would...

I am currently refilling epson durabrite carts and as far as I can tell they are dye inks. Have'nt had any complaints from clients yet I think only epsons ultrachrome inks are pigment

I,m not quite sure what you mean by steel cover, are you referring to the mesh over the ink reservoir under the sponge and over the head? can you post a picture this mesh is to filter ink to the head if this is what you are referring to then yes this reservoir needs to have ink in it after...

Mis has a tutoral on ink mixing on their site not sure it has anything to do with clotting but it seems to be an accepted practice to mix inks http://www.inksupply.com/tinting.cfm

the coagulating ink as you describe it is pigment ink a thicker ink its properties are to last much longer on a black and white document for example it is more difficult to clean and can cause head clogging more often than the thinner dyes ,if longevity is not a problem I have used black dye in...

Thats a good question I've often thought ink resellers tell you they are different to sell more ink. But I,ve seen a canon using epson black dye diluted with 10% alchohol. I have an array of different inks for different carts and a lot look identical but some do look different for example the...

Ron Sorry I've been calling you Rob. I don,t have any problems removing the top,my method is to lay the cart on it,s side and with a razor knife gently wedge it on one corner until you hear a crack do all four corners then gently slide the razor from corner to corner. the lex cart I had...

Inkdoodle You say removing the top is hard,My supplier Ausjet sells me replacement tops that have a snap on arrangement rather than having to re-glue,much easier. I did a test on a lexmark 17 that has been sitting around for a while it had black tar like ink that oosed out the top...

laserman Yes it can done, machine is available here http://www.inkjetrefill-supplies.com/products.asp?id=92 but I hope your sitting when you see the price. maybe with a few hours web searching we can find out exactly how these machines work

Rob Yes you are right the cleaning blades and mechanism is to right but during the cleaning cycle the head will spend short periods of time to the left over a separate piece of sponge, presumably to eject ink in a seperate operation to the blade cleaning on the right, sorry perhaps park...
